This may be specific to openSuse packaging, but I'm not sure...

I have the latest packages for kmymoney and kmm_ofximport installed on my system, but the 'file->import->ofx' menu item is not showing up as the KMyMoney manual leads me to believe it should.

I do have the menu to 'map to online account' when right clicking an account, but it is not enabled for some reason.

The plugin (KMyMoney OFX) is in the plugins list under the configure menu, so it seems like KMyMoney is aware that the plugin is there. I'm kind of stumped. I would guess it's something silly, but I sure can't find it.

Anyone have this working or any other experience with this?

Do you have libofx installed too?

I had checked before and thought that I did. Looking in yast, it seems that I had libofx4 installed, not libofx. I installed libofx and saw no change in KMyMoney. Tried to uninstall libofx4 and it said it is a dependency of KMyMoney. Would libofx4 tank it? I could uninstall all of it and start over...

I'm not sure about the exact package name. What I do know is that to use OFX within KMyMoney, you need to have KMyMoney, libofx, and kmm_ofximport. The latter is only a "glue" between" components, because all the OFX logic is, of course, in libofx.
You could try reinstalling KMyMoney and libofx to make sure it's the right version.
Also, you are enabling the plugin, right?

I dumped every package with kmymoney or kmm in it along with the libofx packages. Rebooted before re-installing (I know I shouldn't need to, but just in case). Added KMyMoney and kmm_ofximport (libofx and several others came along for the ride). Still no luck. Under File -> Import, I have QIF, GnuCash, and Account Template... but no OFX.

I made sure that one of the accounts was set up with a number and that the institution has a routing number, again, just in case. Still nothing. It should just offer to import OFX regardless of any account info right?

I have the plugin listed (and it is checked). I also have 'map to online account' when I right click on accounts, but it is never enabled.

This is running on a kde4 system, but I can't imagine that would kill a plugin.

Very frustrating stuff. Is there a log file (or way to start generating one) that may show what is going on?

Start kmymoney from a console or terminal window. That might give us a clue about what's going on.

Maybe I'm missing a command arg, but it didn't tell me much. I looked for some way to get more out of the logs, but --help-all didn't show anything.

Anyway, I started, opened the file->import menu, opened the config tab for plugins, and right clicked on an account (to see 'map as online'). Nothing printed to the command line.

Nothing out of sorts that I can see.

Send a mail to the mailing list, where the packagers for OpenSuse can give you a hint on what's going on.

I don't think you say what version of openSuse you have, but I'm on 11.2. Yast shows two versions of kmymoney - for KDE3 and KDE4, but only one version of kmm_ofximport - for KDE4. The KDE4 versions do work and do have the OFX plugin in the menu, but without the KDE3 version of kmm_ofximport, you're stuck.

I think, either you need to ensure you have the KDE4 version of kmm, which is not yet a stable version, or install from source/CVS.

No, I guess I didn't say what version of openSuse that I'm on, poor form. I'm on 11.2. I'm not near my linux machine right now, but looking at the results for an OBS package search, it looks like the kmm_ofximport package is at version 3.95, which would match kmymoney4, not kmymoney. I should have noticed that, but I guess there should have been a package dep there too eh?

I'll try to install kmymoney4 and test it out. Seems pretty stable these days I guess, but I have to ask... Why so difficult to find a reference to KMyMoney4? I don't see that the main page mentions it at all. At first, I thought it might have been a 'hostile spin-off' or something.

Version 3.95 is a beta release, that's why there is little mention of it.

You must have some mix in the repositories, because you get the main package for one version and the plugin for the other.

Yep, that was it. I added kmymoney4 and removed kmymoney (forced by package conflict). OFX/QFX import is working just fine I think.

The packman repository for openSuse 11.2 does not even seem to contain the kmm_ofxplugin package at the 1.0.2 level. I think some dependencies are missing (unless it makes sense somehow to have the ofx import without having kmymoney), but I'm guessing that I can clean things up by removing any kmm specific stuff at the 1.0.2 level now that I have 3.95 installed.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help. I'm very glad to have KMyMoney working for me.

I haven't had the Packman OFX work with KMM2 probably for a year now (reported a couple of times, although just on the mailing list) and have been using CVS until recently.
